How many mobile phones have you had in your life and what do you do
with the old, broken ones? Most people throw them away. In fact,
digital waste is a growing problem for society. Dutch designer Dave
Hakken has come up with an amazing idea to reduce such waste. The
Phoneblocks concept is a mobile phone made up of little blocks that can be replaced
when they stop working. This means that you can keep your phone forever and just
replace the broken parts. You can also build the ideal phone for your personal needs.
The designer is trying to spread the word about his idea. His goal is to find 50,000
supporters so that the mobile phone industry will take notice.
What is Phoneblocks?
A
B
C
D
a new system to recycle mobiles phones
a new kind of smartphone
a new idea to build mobile phones that last longer
a new mobile phone that never breaks

Look at the sentences below about working on a children’s summer camp. Read the text and
decide if each sentence (1 to 10) is correct or incorrect. If it’s correct, mark T; if it’s not correct,
mark F. Justify your answer according to the text.
Summer jobs in children’s camps
Camp America is an organization that runs over 12,000 children’s summer camps in the USA. All
the camps are in the countryside and some are in areas of outstanding natural beauty. Different
types of camps are available. While some are designed mainly for sports activities, others are
suitable for children with different interests. Accommodation is provided at the majority of
camps but some children attend during the day and return home in the evening.
Camp America offers a variety of summer jobs for young people. Some allow you to work
directly with children teaching sport, dancing or arts and require relevant qualifications. There
are other jobs working with children, however, that do not require special skills or
qualifications. In these roles you help to run activities and take care of children after organised
events have finished.
If you do not want to work with children, there are other jobs available, such as office work,
laundry work and food preparation. You do not have responsibility for any children in these
roles, so you often have more free time in the evenings.
You can make paper or online applications for summer camp jobs. To complete a paper
application you need to write us requesting a form which you then need to complete and
return. We will send you a list of interviewers located in your area and you need to select one to
arrange a convenient time for an interview. You can apply online by visiting our “How to Apply
Section” on our main website. Here you can fill out our application form and select an
interviewer.
